	<Paragraph>
		The "New database" function allows you to create a new SilverMap database. A SilverMap database has a simple schema consisting of three tables: Organisms, Gene, Hits.

					<Paragraph>Gene</Paragraph>
				</TableCell>
				<TableCell>
					<Paragraph>A record for each protein-coding gene in each organism. In addition to the amino acid translation of the coding sequence, we store several descriptive items, including Notes, Product and cross references to Genbank database entries. Genes are allocated unique database-specific identifiers when they are inserted.</Paragraph>

					<Paragraph>Hits</Paragraph>
				</TableCell>
				<TableCell>
					<Paragraph>Each record in the hit table corresponds to a HSP (Highly Significant Pair), that is, a statistically significant local alignment between query protein and subject protein. SilverMap gene identifiers are used to connect hits to genes. There may be more than one hit between two genes, coresponding to disconnected local alignments.</Paragraph>
